Common Alternative Revolutionary Force

The Common Alternative Revolutionary Force (FARC) is a Marxist-Leninist political party in Colombia that was founded in 2017 by former FARC guerrillas. The party retained the acronym of the FARC insurgent organization as a symbolic gesture, as it marked the guerrilla group's transition into mainstream politics and its abandonment of the doctrine of armed struggle. Timoleon Jimenez served as the party's leader, and he planned to ally with the Colombian Communist Party for the 2018 parliamentary election.
